Hello everyone,

An eventful month march was. This month’s devlog wont be too long but we do have an official statement that Graveyard Shift would like to announce in regards to generative AI use as a whole. This comes up from questions asked in our community discord server.

A Note on AI

Graveyard Shift Productions official stance on AI

Our organization was founded with a love and appreciation for stories and storytelling that the medium of video games can achieve. In tandem this includes the beauty and soul in hand drawn and human made artwork. Graveyard Shift Productions strongly stands in opposition to the use of generative AI in any of our projects. We will never use, never support the use, or encourage anyone on our team to use generative AI tools of any kind.

We are an organization of human artists, writers, coders, musicians, and producers and are proud of the creative spirit and unique perspectives that brings to our work.

We are staunchly Anti-AI and that will never change as it is part of our core values.

Now onto other topics.

Tcoaar

Our writing team has finalized our main spine for episode 3A Decay. We have many sections already written and work is now progressing smoothly. There isn’t much more to talk about at this time in regards to the project besides we are working on getting all of our ideas onto paper.

The VA Mod project has started hosting recording sessions with our talented actors and actresses. Progress is running smoothly and are excited to see the project coming together piece by piece.

With the recent updates to the base game we have combed over the changes and what has been revealed as future plans for the game. We will continue to monitor any updates and developments on that front as we work on our own episode.

That is all for now on the Tcoaar front.

Willows

Writing for chapter 1 of Willows has reached the 80% mark and continues to go through our proofing process. Many of the art assets we need to produce have already begun production or have been completed for testing in our internal build. Proofing of the writing continues as we work through each of the gameplay and puzzle chunks of the game.

We don’t have much else to reveal at this moment but we are seeing progress moving steadily towards our release of chapter 1 planned for later this year.

Stay tuned and thank you for supporting our work!
